  • White Rice100 g
  • Olive Oil2 tbsp
  • Onion0.5 medium
  • Garlic2 cloves
  • Fresh Spinach100 g
  • Dried Oregano(optional)1 tsp
  • Salt and Pepper1 pinch

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).

  2. 2

    Slice the tops off the tomatoes. Use a spoon to carefully hollow out the insides, keeping the shells intact. Coarsely chop the removed tomato flesh and pulp, reserving it in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Cook the rice in boiling salted water for about 10 minutes (it should be slightly undercooked), then drain.

  4. 4

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic for 3 minutes. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted.

  5. 5

    Stir the par-cooked rice, the reserved tomato pulp, dried oregano, salt, and pepper into the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes to combine.

  6. 6

    Arrange the tomato shells in a baking dish. Spoon the rice and spinach mixture into the shells.

  7. 7

    Place the tomato tops back on, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and bake for 35-40 minutes until the tomatoes are tender and slightly wrinkled.
